Why managing is damaging, and leadership is empowering.
In response to the age old question: “Are great leaders born or made?”…the answer is an emphatic… “YES” to BOTH!

AND….they will follow a transformational leader WILLINGLY. Why? Because they trust you have their best interest at heart. They share their leader’s vision, values, and a strong driving commitment to change the order of things, and make the world a better place for future generations.
Leaders are individuals that truly believe that a rising tide lifts all ships. They understand the value in, and desire to excel at, emotional intelligence and possess a strong moral compass and emotional quotient (EQ).
EQ is a person’s ability to:
Perceive emotions in themselves (emotional awareness)
Regulate their own emotions (emotional management)
Identify the emotions of others (social awareness)
Nurture powerful relationships with others (social management)
People often mistake effective leadership with management. Management as an organizational behavior is DETRIMENTAL to long term success. LEADERSHIP is critically important. Here’s a cheat sheet of the significant differences:
